Fmr. Clinton Adviser: 'Very Possible' Obama Will Bow Out of Presidential Race - For Now
CNS News ^ | Sept., 29, 2011 | Grant Dahl

Posted on 09/29/2011 3:46:53 PM PDT by Rudder

In an interview with conservative radio icon Sean Hannity, former President Clinton adviser and campaign manager Dick Morris stated that, after speaking with a Democratic strategist, he thinks it is “very possible” that President Obama might acquiesce to requests from the Democratic leadership in Congress and bow out of the 2012 race, leaving the door open for him to return sometime in the future.

“I asked a top Democratic strategist the other day and he thought that it was possible that, in January, Harry Reid comes to Obama and says, ‘Look you cost us control of the House last year, you’re going to cost us control of the Senate this year. For the good of the party you have to step aside’” said Morris.

“And, then, (Obama) pulls a Lyndon Johnson, he says ‘I’m fighting to solve the recession, and problem is because of partisanship and my re-election people reject everything I say because of partisanship, so I’m going to not run for president and focus my full time attention on solving this recession’ and then go out popular,” Morris added.

Even if he “voluntarily” stepped down, it would turn off a lot of Holder’s people. Probably not a viable strategy.

Holder's people = Black Panthers?

obama is too much of a narcissist and meglomaniac to bow out on his own.

I agree. In fact I may need tin foil because I really worry if he becomes convinced he will lose big he will figure out a way to not have an election at all.

That is one of the most un-American statements I have ever read. That woman must not have a brain in her head....

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in't." (Polonius - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2)

I think this is a trial balloon to test the waters and see if there is a chance of delaying elections. "The end justifies the means", or "By any means necessary." Today's democrats are phenomenally disgusting; the national socialists and soviet socialists were no different from today's far left, but at least they didn't pretend to be good and compassionate.

Should nobama step out of the race and hillary steps in, watch soros’s money. She and soros were very good friends, until he, soros, found nobama, then it was goodbye hillary. Hillary is a nobama in slacks and a long jacket. She follows alinsky and marx just as nobama and soros does.

They just don’t get it. This isn’t about Obama, who is just a symptom. The demonRATs are going to lose it ALL in the next election, and it is because Americans have seen the ugly, distorted and frightening face of leftism. It is the IDEOLOGY they are rejecting- not just Obama.

Dick Morris is almost never right. Smart, interesting but seldom correct.

I think he’ll become so mentally unstable (according to the latest Insider message he’s on his way) that they can’t prop him up any more. Then it’ll be “needs to spend more time with family” or “health reasons” but I think the mental breakdown will be all too visible.

:-D

It would appear that the dems are already testing the waters considering the recent comments by the gov. of NC and mr. orzag.

However, there are a lot of people who wouldn’t hesitate to exercise their second amendment rights and throw off the “yoke of tyranny.”

I, too, have been reading the Ulsterman interviews. Very interesting info.

If all that information is true, BHO2 is just a puppet, Valerie Jarrett is his keeper, and Bill Dailey controls performance.

Ain’t never gonna happen. There’s a fly in that ointment.

“Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:

Believing that you’re better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you’re special and acting accordingly
Failing to recognize other people’s emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem

‘SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE....”ahahaha

What about when they include them ALL?

And there are people behind those people. But if their prop becomes publicly unstable, they lose their spokeshole/puppet.

Does the Clinton mob have the goods on him?

Of course they do.

But they can't use 'em - cause he's got the goods on them too ...

I believe it’s more likely that he’ll declare martial law and cancel the election by Imperial Edict than that he’d not run a second time. His ego could NEVER let him not run.

I think that plan has been fleshed out and ready for some time and have fretted over it -

However, I'm now thinking, since the quiet coup in the WH that overrode him on the bin laden take down (He wouldn't give the go ahead, so they sat him in the corner and told him they were in charge - indicating the military brass and others have the goods on him and do not intend to let him take the country down that path) ...

and the sea change of late with some of the more prominent MSM actually giving him bad press and the DC dems backing away, worrying about their own hides, along with the current and looming scandals - he wont be allowed to declare Martial Law. It's the Rat-sinking ship syndrome.

The only ones still ready to do battle with him are the Union thugs and his Acorn unwashed 'army.'

He has them started on his long planned 'Quiet Riots" - Wall Street right now - but they are not really dedicated to a genuine cause, lazy and lose attention fast. Add to that, it's getting cold on those streets at night - and soon, days to. That movement will soon fizzle.

Poor little boy in the big white house is finding himself increasingly alone.

He will either implode or explode. (We should start a pool.)

The only way he would decide not to run is if he could be persuaded that it was for the good of the Democrat Party. He certainly doesn’t give a damn about the Nation.

He doesn't give a damn about anyone.

He will do what his handlers - from the communist nest in Chicago - through his immediate, hitched-at-the-hip handler, Vallery Jarrett , tells him to do.
